The image shows one of the two prototypes of the H8K-3 Model 22. It featured retractable wing-tip floats (which were originally envisaged for the H8K-1) and revised lateral and dorsal gun positions. The lateral blisters were replaced by sliding hatches and the dorsal turret was retractable. (The date quoted seems too early.)
